I had this little problem that made me crazy for a while, until I ran into the solution by chance, so even if it'is a trivial issue I want to share it.
Just click on the left side of the name of the file, on its tab, in the tabs bar. It's like a hidden button. Check the pictureHope it will be useful to somebody

Basically when I open a file on VScode, a new one or one that I already have, it splits the editor into two, but one half is blank, almost like it was a preview because as I scroll down the code, it follows, but empty....
This "preview blank space" occupies half the screen and it's really bothering me... Could you please help? I think it's a command i have to execute because I've tried to reset the settings and even uninstall the VS code and it stays the same.
It doesn't have any close options (nor the right or left button of the mouse) and I can't move it anywhere (nor open a file on it). Also, I don't think it's editor split because I already did and undo that and it doesn't solve
If anyone knows how to fix it, I would really appreciate because I can't find a solution anywhere and I'm desperate..
This answer on Stack Overflow offers a solution I am trying to implement. In particular, see the sections "Installation Instructions" and "How to Use".
Can anyone tell me the steps required to "restart" IDLE?
New Information:
Just as people have suggested I thought this simply meant closing the program and opening it back up again...but I already tried that.
The other twist to my situation is that I'm working on a virtual machine so I was unable to do the installation of IDLE2HTML.py myself. My work's Help Desk had to do it so I cannot speak for the accuracy of their work. For now I'm assuming they did it correctly, but when I go to the "Options" menu there is no option to "Save as HTML".
My only guess at this point is that I still need to "restart IDLE".
Just wanted to double check if there was something else I could do before going back to my Help Desk department.
IDLE reads the idlelib/config-xyz.def files, including config-extensions.def, just once, when it starts. So any changes to config-extensions.def only takes effect the next time you start IDLE.
If you do not see 'Save as HTML' after starting IDLE, the extension is not installed properly.
It means you need to close the IDLE so that any changes made by the script can affect the IDLE
Simply close the IDLE either via the X, Ctrl+Q or File>Exit, then open the IDLE again.
If you are using idlelib module from a Python program then close your program and run it again.
If have just switched to the qutebrowser and I'm overly happy with it.
The one thing that is disturbing me is that I can't get the qutebrowser to focus on the tab that I've just opened.
Any idea how to do this?
Stack Overflow is about programming, and not the right place for qutebrowser questions. See getting help in the qutebrowser documentation for better places to get help.
qutebrowser usually does focus newly opened tabs by default, unless you have tabs.background set. You might be running into this issue, or it might be something different - difficult to say more without knowing what link you're opening where, and how.
Is there a way to copy text out of Python IDLE on a Mac? When I highlight text and copy then past into a text editor, I get the same text pasted. It is some of the first text I start with in IDLE. None of the other text will copy out.
From The Things I Hate About IDLE That I Wish Someone Would Fix (from 2011):
1.2) NEW FEATURE: Auto-Copy-On-Highlight
Once we get rid of being able to move the cursor off the last line, that opens a new opportunity to implement an automatic copy-on-highlight feature that many terminal and IRC client programs implement. Since this text is read-only, the only reason a person has for highlighting it is to copy it (they can’t delete it.) As soon as the user highlights text in the shell window, it is copied to the clipboard.
Looks like the best you can do is save as a .py file. Open that in a text editor and continue working in IDLE. With each save, the text editor will refresh with all updates, including errors. At least TextWrangler will.
Sometimes in things like a linux terminal you can't do a normal copy and paste, try holding Command/Control + Shift + C after highlighting things and seeing if that works, since you're on mac i'm not sure if it would be the Command or Control key so try both
EDIT: There is an apple discussion about the exact same thing. They discuss going into the options menu, then into configuration and navigating to the keys section. Then you use a built in key-set, their suggestion is using IDLE Classic Mac.
I cannot tell from your description exactly what you did and what happened. But I can recommend that you upgrade to 3.4.4 or 3.5.1 (or 2.7.11 for 2.7 users). Among other improvements, they all contain a patch to make right-click for context menu work on Mac Aqua. This was issue 24801 on the CPython bug tracker.
If there is still an actual problem on Mac, I would like to know so it can be fixed.
I am trying to download a csv file from a website and no matter how many MIME's I try for both saving and opening, the dialog box still appears. Is there a way to cover all MIME's at once or anything that might pop up?
Right now I'm using:
fp.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk","text/html")
fp.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.openFile","text/html")
And other variations including a ton more MIME's. How can I auto download regardless of the MIME?
I solved my question with this:
fp.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk","application/octet-stream")
fp.set_preference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.openFile","application/octet-stream")
I had multiple preference statements, and I think that is what the problem was. Now I only have this one active and don't have any problems. Hope this can help someone else.
